MY NEW BEST FRIEND

After I’ve started working full-time as a fashion editor, comfort has become as essential as beauty when it comes to footwear. On a working day, if I’m not at the office typing away, I’ll either be running to numerous press presentations, or to different stores or showrooms to pick out clothes for photo-shoots. Can you imagine how impractical it would be if I were to wear heels every day? This is precisely why the sneaker trend has become a fashion editor’s absolute best friend! Even though sneakers are initially sportswear, they are rather versatile. Remember how Karl Lagerfeld brilliantly paired sneakers with couture at his CHANEL SS14 Haute Couture show? I can’t imagine anything more stylish and visually pleasing than to add a contradictive sports touch to a perfectly formal attire! As for a more daily appropriate approach, I’ve decided to pair these beautiful Burberry SS15 field sneakers with a basic knitted top and skirt. The colourful and joyful looking design stands out perfectly on its own, giving a pleasant boost of energy, even for this horribly humid weather!
